I've noticed people always start talking about a new survey about a day or two before I actually get the email. It seems Tivo sends the email out in different groups, so you probably just have to wait a day or so. I haven't got mine either.

Yep, got the email early the next morning. Lots of booze questions. Which was easy for me, none of the liquor a/wines/beers are in my house. Newcastle or Guinness, nothing else matters.

It seems ANOTHER survey went out requesting feedback specifically on the Roamio a few days ago. Not sure they've ever solicited feedback this often before.

It does appear Tivo is listening or at least trying to. I remember they asked about a few hot button topics on the forums, the promotions (pause ads), streaming, wishlist screens, UI, stability, etc.

Have not seen it [yet]. I tell you, the oversized/dark background pause ads are really starting to piss me off. I didn't realize how often I pause to read the screen until I had something huge ALWAYS blocking what I want to see.

I can never get these codes to work. I am sure I am not doing something correctly - I have tried from a recorded show and from live tv - but it just doesn't seem to do anything.

The SPSPS code is one of the trickiest codes to enter for some reason (probably because it has to do with avoiding the pause ad ).

Go into Showcases and play one of the videos that are in there. This is usually the most sure way to get the codes to stick.
If you have the Tivo sounds enabled, you should hear three dings when the code is accepted.

That use to be an option, with an actual screen to set it, back in the S1/S2 days. But when they came up with the brilliant idea to put adds up when you paused they removed it.

Really? I did not know that. That must be why TiVo programmed the backdoor pause code in the first place, to give users an option when they change the functionality of the UI. They did the same thing when they changed how the FF button works and gave us SPS88S.
